The Community Foundation for Western Iowa (givewesterniowa.org) is celebrating the acceptance of a regional award given for excellence in marketing material. On April 26, the organization received a Pinnacle Award for “Total Marketing Campaign” in the Not-For-Profit category during AMA Omaha’s Pinnacle Awards at the Truhlsen Events Center at UNMC.

The Omaha Chapter of the American Marketing Association annually hosts the Pinnacle Awards to celebrate area organizations and their most successful marketing campaigns from the previous year. Campaigns were judged by three AMA Chapters across the United States – Charleston, Cincinnati and San Diego – based on metrics and measurable tactics. Judges looked at results-based marketing campaigns and their impact in the community.

The Community Foundation’s “Total Marketing Campaign” entry encompassed its recent name change and rebrand, including a new logo, updated website and social media posts, all designed and managed in-house and with brand awareness videos from local producer, Craig Carlsen.

The Community Foundation for Western Iowa is a tax-exempt public charity, 501(c)(3), that serves thousands of people who share a common interest in improving the quality of life in western Iowa. They are dedicated to creating a lasting legacy in our region by engaging our citizens and communities for durable change and fostering a culture of philanthropy.
